Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Too bad zero stars aren’t an option
I would not recommend her to anyone. She is a fatalist. She told my husband he was “as good as he was going to get” She said there wasn’t anything she, or anyone else, could do for him. He needed to “get used to his condition”. He is a stroke patient who suffers from constant nerve pain on one side of his face, vertigo any time he tries to stand up, and intermittent headaches. Since seeing her, he has been cured of the nerve pain in his face by a local physician and is to start therapy on his dizziness next month. Seeing Chilukuri was a big waste of time, travel and money.

Back I need 1999 I started having seizures ( never had them before). My mother took me in through the ER at Duke, I didn't know anyone, not even my own mother. Dr. Chilikuri, saved my life, I still see her every year for a checkup and she goes above and beyond to throughly run test and tries her best to help you.. I have not had a seizure since 1999, I would recommend this great doctor to anyone.

I had an experience with this woman where she proved herself unethical, sneaky, and a cheat. I would avoid her at all costs.
